The Pinehurst is a balmoral boot manufactured by J.FitzPatrick Footwear, part of the company's Autumn/Winter 2020 collection. The boot features a shortened u-wing toe cap, scooped mid panel, and brogueing throughout, stylistically rooted in Victorian England design. Made in Spain using Goodyear welt construction, the Pinehurst is part of the J.FitzPatrick Line, representing the brand's highest level of craftsmanship.
The boot combines dark brown marble patina calfskin with snuff suede accents, finished with a single leather sole on the TMG last. User reviews note the boot's versatility across diverse activities and clothing styles, with particular praise for the fuller last accommodating wider feet.
The Pinehurst draws its design inspiration from Victorian England, presenting a balmoral boot configuration that balances traditional elements with modern details. The shortened u-wing toe cap distinguishes the boot from conventional wing tips, while the uniquely scooped mid panel creates visual interest along the boot's profile. Brogueing appears tastefully throughout the design, contributing decorative detail without overwhelming the silhouette.
The boot employs balmoral lacing with blind eyelets to maintain an elegant profile, while speed hooks near the top provide practical convenience for daily wear. The combination of dark brown marble patina calfskin and snuff suede creates color and texture contrast, with the patina finish allowing natural variation in different lighting conditions.
The Pinehurst features Goodyear welted construction, manufactured at J.FitzPatrick Footwear's Spanish production facility. The boot uses full grain crust leather that is hand-dyed in Europe, combined with English suede for the accent panels. The construction includes leatherboard heel stiffeners and full leather lining throughout the interior.
Seven brass indented nails appear in the toe, a detail characteristic of traditional high-quality dress shoe construction. The boot sits on the smart-round TMG last and features a single leather sole with closed-channel construction, beveled waist, and pitched heel. These elements are standard features of the J.FitzPatrick Line, which utilizes the brand's highest grades of leather and incorporates hand-finished detailing.
User feedback indicates the Pinehurst requires minimal break-in period, with the suede and leather materials maintaining their appearance through extended wear. The TMG last has been noted for its fuller fit, providing accommodation for wearers with wider feet. Reviews document the boot's use across varied conditions including working environments, hiking, and urban wear.
